Multi-Instrumentalist/Producer Zo! is teasing us with a sampler for his upcoming album “Manmade”. Now this will sure get some grown women’s panties wet cause the release will be three weeks from now on May 21st on FE+ Music.

OK Let’s start by naming the credits to Diggs Duke new project “Mass Exodus“. Vocals, bass guitar, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, banjo, electric piano, acoustic piano, trumpet, alto saxophone, djembe, shekere, wood blocks, and drums are all played by Diggs Duke himself. Ever since Diggs “Gravity EP” we’ve been following this multi talented artist and he delivers on every single release. So I suggest you go to his bandcamp and support him by spending $3 on “Mass Exodus“.

Madlib and Freddie Gibbs return with their 2nd EP ‘Shame’. The title track features BJ The Chicago Kid and contains a sample of The Manhattans – Wish that you were mine. Now don’t waste your time and buy the Shame EP in the Stonesthrow store.

Must agree with Diggs Duke that Kimbra’s “Settle Down” is a nice example of tasteful popmusic. He took the chance to join another remix contest on IndabaMusic and I suggest you support this by voting here if you like it.
